This article writes by Sean Leow. After reading I start to wonder why is QQ so influential. There are so many Chinese uses it. I suspect that non Chinese user use it just because they need to contract Chinese. Why is QQ anywhere in China is not because the chat client great, it is because of the way QQ IM integrates into QQ GAMES, QQ blog, QQ homepage, and most important QQ PET. QQ is still the only IM client that takes advantage of Chinese women’s penchant for cuteness, and if Chinese women uses QQ, then the men uses QQ, then everyone else need to use QQ.

Hi John
I would like to see your work from Friday up on your blog so that I can comment on it. Your area, topic and question.
Thanks
Holy poop, that link is madness.
That’s a crazy amount of money, and the looking into limiting of the virtual-currency reminded me of the green-bucks/dollars story Clare talked about last semester.
What was your area/topic/question though? If it was related to the linked article, I can imagine it would be quite interesting indeed.
